What argument are you making?

Putting something into the App Store somehow makes the app itself vulnerable?

Or, the App Store tends to attract already vulnerable software?

Probably both. If the NSA thought it unbreakable, the app would not be easily available to the public.
An iOS backdoor is the way to go. Otherwise the NSA has to monitor an endless cycle of new apps.
Not if there is a backdoor added to all apps on the app store automatically.
Do you imagine this backdoor gives control over each application's execution or only retrieves data?
